Details on meeting time and place will be provided to participants one week prior to the start of the trip. Most likely meeting place will be Phelps Creek trailhead, which is at the end of the Chiwawa River Road, near Wenatchee. Please note we will need a car shuttle at the end of the trip to take us from our endpoint of Trinity trailhead back up to Phelps Creek trailhead. Arrangements will be made with all participants one week prior to the trip start date. Please also note as of 06/15/2023, the road to the trailhead is closed - I expect it will be open by the time of this trip; if not, I will select an alternate and similar destination.
